Windsor’s Skyview School of STEM Lego robotics team recently won third place at the First Lego League qualifying competition at Poudre High School in Fort Collins.

Out of the 47 teams competing in the Nov. 16 event, Skyview’s team received a high score of 377 points for the mission portion of their competition, according to Skyview parent Selinda Kusluski.

Other portions of the competition included robot design, a research project presentation and teamwork. This year marks the second season for the Skyview Fierce Falcons Lego Robotics team; last year they won the rookie team “rising stars” award.

The team qualified for the state competition and will compete Dec. 14 in Denver.

“We are just so proud of the kids, it is great to see their efforts recognized after all the hard work and dedication they’ve put into this program,” volunteer coach Gary Kusluski said.

Kusluski was awarded the Outstanding Coach Award.

The team is sponsored by the OtterBox Foundation, Keypoint Government Solutions, Pediatric Associates of Northern Colorado, Windsor Pediatrics, Littler Grant from Weld County and Weld Schools Credit Union.
